Marbella on the southern coast of Spain is where the rich, famous and fabulous congregate to engage in all manner of sinful activities away from the prying lenses of the paparazzi. After all, the area isn’t dubbed the ‘Costa del Crime’ for nothing. Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll are all out on display in Marbella, from the alluring bikini babes strewn across its palm-fringed beaches to the hedonism that goes on in its decadent nightclubs. It’s no wonder celebrities flock here in their droves; Bruce Willis has been spotted mingling with a bevy of beautiful women in its bars, Britney Spears has been snapped ordering a bottle of vodka in one of its most famous nightclubs, and heartthrob Antonio Banderas and his wife Melanie Griffith even have a home here. a bachelor’s paradise for those single and free to mingle, Marbella has it all; glamour, wealth and power.

Bently Financial LTD, and Kellington Investments INC. laundered ‘a minimum of 12.6 million €’ in financial havens.

Hacienda tax authority has estimated that the man at the centre of the Malaya corruption case in Marbella, the ex Municipal Real Estate Assessor, Juan Antonio Roca, laundered ‘a minimum of 12.6 million €’ in financial havens. The number is published in one of the hacienda reports which has discovered accounts in Switzerland, Andorra and the British Virgin Islands, and makes up part of the case summary. Europa Press reports that that Hacienda considers that these accounts were used not only to hide Roca’s assets, but also to launder the amounts so they could be re-introduced into circulation. Much of the operation was carried out via two companies on the Virgin Islands, Bently Financial LTD, and Kellington Investments INC.

Puerto Banús

A trip to Marbella wouldn’t be a trip to Marbella without visiting this legendary port. Dubbed the ‘Port of Abuse’ by many of its heavy-drinking insiders, Puerto Banús is named after its designer (and legendary playboy) Jose Banús, who can be credited for single-handedly putting Marbella on the map. Row after row of designer shops, hip restaurants and trendy bars, the port is where the town’s super-rich moor up their megayachts and pose for their adoring public on the decks. Aside from the boats, the one-way road is like a supercar showroom, too, with every high-end marque you can think of polished to perfection and parked up outside hip and happening places. Whether you visit the port to inflict some damage on your credit card, to dine on fresh seafood or to dance like its 1969, you’re sure to have yourself a very good time. Highly recommended is an Indonesian dinner and rum cocktails at the nearby Trader Vic’s, followed by drinks at the world-famous Sinatra’s bar, which is like a who’s who of the movie industry on a Friday and Saturday night. After that, you can move onto the nearby Suite nightclub, hidden underneath the very posh Puente Romano Hotel.
